Modern Mini

The Call went out for quilts.

The color palette was chosen.

The THEME was chosen.

The size was manageable.

I answered the call.

Isn't this a pretty quilt?

I love all those pretty fabrics!

This isn't my quilt top.

It was in the pile of TO BE QUILTED

charity quilts at my local guild.

I enjoy the quilting process when there's

absolutely NO PRESSURE!!!

And charity quilts are in THAT category!

:)

I also am happy these quilts are a manageable SIZE!!!

I am meandering around

with a loose flower motif.

It is a doodling kind of quilting

and it WORKS perfectly.

What are YOU working on this week??

Monday Making

I'm making a Christmas quilt!

Scrappy REDS and GREENS

Using this pattern.

Beginnings are ALWAYS FUN!

Just hope I have enough of the reds and greens

I WANT!

I really AM trying to use my stash

and IF I can't find the right colors lurking here...

Well...

You know what will happen next!!!

:)

I will be teaching a quilting class 

with this pattern Oct. 6 (Friday)

at the QUILT CUPBOARD.

Excited to spend a WHOLE day quilting!

What are YOU making this week??

Handwork

                                     

Hand stitching is so satisfying.

I love adding contrasting color to patchwork!

and when the project is small...

well...

I goes so FAST!!!

It made me REALLY want to get going on a bigger quilt!

Just need to get a quilt sandwich made and get GOING!!

Just.

Haha!

These little mug rugs will be gifted soon

with a mug!

Yeah for simple practical little gifts!!

Homemade makes me happy!

Homemade is also nice in the kitchen.

This is an excellent pie that takes NO TIME at all.

Sour cream apple pie.

I bought a ready made crust

and filled it up.

Easy peasy.

Monday Making

I have been USING up scraps over here.

Practical projects include Potholders

and...

                                         

Mug rugs.

Instead of cleaning UP after making a quilt...

It's more FUN to sew the leftovers together

and MAKE something useful!!!

What are YOU making??

Link up and share.

Scrappy top is off the floor

This is my VERY favorite kind of quilt!

The messy kind of quilt.

The FREE kind of quilt.

The kind that involves DUMPING scraps out

and DIGGING.

The kind where you use STRINGS that are ANY size

and you GET what you GET!!!

The kind that incorporates all KINDS of scraps...

even the clothing kind!

The kind of quilt that takes me on an

ADVENTURE!!

***************

This quilt lived on my design floor for a couple of weeks.

It was hard to get around it.

The Scraps were PILED next to it.....

and NOW it's pretty much DONE!

Yeah!

I still need a trim along the edges

and MAYBE add a border to make it twin size???

We'll see.

OOOh!

Then I need to QUILT IT!

Monday making

I'm unable to host the linky party this week.

Spending time with family and technology is not being friendly.

Happy sewing!!!

See you next week.
